1. A method, comprising:

  • performing a neural stimulation test routine for stimulating a neural target in a cervical region of a patient, wherein a patient'"'"'s head is moved into a plurality of positions including a plurality of selected head positions for threshold testing, and for each of a plurality of selected head positions, performing the neural stimulation test routine includes using a neural stimulator and electrodes to deliver neural stimulation to test a plurality of electrode configurations to provide threshold data, and collecting the threshold data;

    recording the threshold data for each of the tested electrode configurations for the plurality of selected head positions; and

    recommending an electrode configuration based on the recorded threshold data using an algorithm executed by a processor.
